After saving Kairi Patel, Harvey York left the scene for her to clean up.He believed that she would handle everything properly, judging from her abilities.Then, he called Thomas Burton for him to drive them both to a place to eat.Harvey wanted to go to a roadside stall, but Thomas insisted on treating him to a good meal. The two then went to the Golden Sands Hotel.Thomas was extremely quiet while he was on the road. He did not say a single word after seeing the bloodshed in front of him just now. He did not ask Harvey about the details, as if nothing had happened.Harvey felt impressed by Thomas’ attitude. Safe to say that he was a man who would achieve great things but was only hindered by luck for the moment.Soon after, the car was parked in front of the Golden Sands Hotel. Thomas quickly pulled out a bank card and gave it to Harvey when he remembered something.“Here’s 7.3 million dollars, Sir York. This is all I have for now.“Give this to Mandy Zimmer. Tell her that t
After hearing Thomas Burton’s sigh, Harvey York could clearly feel the weariness of a man.Harvey frowned.“Who’s been causing you trouble?“Even your past competitors wouldn’t do something like this to waste their own energy, right?”Thomas let out a bitter chuckle.“One of them was my good friend, and the other was the woman I loved…“Not only did they get together after my downfall, but they also kept trampling all over me!“Then, I found out that my friend had been siphoning money from me for the past few years…“That woman had been colluding with him too…“I’m a fool. I didn’t even realize that I was already betrayed.“They won’t let me rise again, no matter what.“They know that I’ll crush them the moment I do.“That’s why I quit doing business. I have a car with me here. Maybe I’ll try chauffeuring…“Those people will be at ease and I’ll be relieved as well.“When I’m done dealing with my matters, I’ll finally retire and return to my hometown.”Thomas seemed quite
“She’s my ex, Sydney Lee.“We were together for many years. I loved her. I wanted to give her the entire world.“But I never knew she hooked up with my good friend for so long!“After my assets and business were frozen by the government, not only did she take away the money I had left, she conspired with my good friend to trick me into signing a contract, forcing me to put up with all that debt…“Thank goodness I got lucky. I would’ve sent those b*stards to jail by now if that weren’t the case!“That said, I must thank Mandy Zimmer for saving me back then…”A sense of respect was showing on Thomas Burton’s face.Harvey York smiled.“Do you still hate her?”“Of course, but I thought about it for a few days…Thomas showed a stern expression.“Hating on a woman is the most useless thing I can do.“If I have power, I should be taking revenge instead.“It’s a shame that I have none. I can’t do anything except try my best to survive.“I have no right to take revenge.“No matte
“Who in Hell is that fatty over there?! He’s dressed like a damn country bumpkin, and he’s even staring all over us!”“He must be some sort of pervert! Look! He’s staring at my legs now!”“Ugh! I can’t believe this! I forgot my stockings today! He saw every part of my legs! How disgusting!”“I know, right?! People like that are just heinous! Doesn’t he know that we’re innocent and pure women here?!”“How are we supposed to get married after this?!”“Disgusting!”“Pervert!”“A man like him is trying to have a piece of good meat?”“Dream on!”The women were gossiping up a storm.Sydney Lee, who was on her phone, raised her head at this moment.A playful smile was showing on her face the moment she saw Thomas Burton.“I was wondering who it was! It’s Young Master Burton himself!”Sydney obviously remembered who Thomas was. After all, the two had been together for quite a while.After being reminded of the past, Sydney felt like vomiting.Her beautiful face was filled with u
After being ridiculed by his ex-girlfriend and her group of friends, Thomas Burton could not hold his feelings back any longer despite his good nature.“Don’t you dare cross the line, Sydney Lee!” exclaimed Thomas while showing a cold glare.“You know just how well I used to treat you! I don’t care how you mock me…“But if you keep taking advantage of other people, then don’t blame me for what happens next…”“What did you say?!Sydney showed a disdainful glare.“You’re just useless trash who fell off! Do you think you’re still the Garbage King or something?!“You can’t tolerate anything! Are you a man or what?!”“Huh?!”Thomas did not know how to refute after being relentlessly ridiculed.Harvey tapped on Thomas’ shoulder with a smiley face.“Alright. Don’t run your mouth to despicable people like those. Let’s head inside.”“What did you say?!“You called us despicable?!“Let me tell you something! We’re all with rich and wealthy people here!Sydney disdainfully glared a
Thomas Burton froze before showing a horrible look on his face.He just remembered that the membership card has an annual renewal fee of thousands of dollars.After his assets were completely frozen, he had no money to pay the membership fees.The beautiful women laughed their heads off after hearing the waitress’ words.“It’s expired?”“How did you end up like this, Young Master Burton?”“How dare you even come here to eat?”“You can’t even get through the door, you fatty!”“You’re just a broke and bankrupt fatty! Why are you still pretending to be some rich boss?! Start begging for food outside already! You’re shameless!”Thomas’ eyes kept twitching as he held his fist. He was downright furious, yet he felt utterly miserable.A man who fell out of power is inferior to the common folk.He finally experienced such a thing.He completely ignored Sydney Lee and the others when he apologetically looked at Harvey York.“I’m sorry, Sir York! I’m really sorry!“I wanted to trea
Sydney Lee would not just give up on her pride at this moment.“You’re here to clean dishes, aren’t you?!” she exclaimed while gritting her teeth.Dariel Jackson was about to slap her in the face when Harvey York stopped him.“Are you insane or something, Ms. Lee?” replied Harvey calmly while squinting at her.“You’re the insane one! Your entire family’s insane like you!” exclaimed Sydney.“If I guess correctly, you’ve been burping for no reason for the longest time. Your mouth’s been extremely sore as well.“You can even smell your own breath when you speak.“That’s why you like to eat a lot of bubblegum to hide that scent.”Sydney froze after hearing those words.“How did you know that?”“I’m not a doctor, but I know some martial arts,” replied Harvey.“Eastern martial arts have medical skills included in them. That’s why I know a little about that.“I can tell that you’ve been losing sleep too. Your stomach will hurt as soon as you drink something cold.Harvey showed a
Dariel Jackson arranged a table for Harvey York and Thomas Burton to sit at.To not let Thomas feel pressured, Harvey declined before getting inside a box and sitting in front of the window.At the same time, he ordered a set meal and opened a bottle of red wine before he started eating.“I think we should just leave here, Sir York…Thomas hesitated when he grabbed his utensils.“It’s not that I don’t believe your abilities! I just don’t think there’s a need to go against so many people for someone like me!”Sydney Lee has suffered quite a bit, giving Thomas the relief he desperately needed…But Thomas’ head started to throb when he thought of the man behind her, Luca Robbins.He simply could not go against a man like that at all.“What are you saying?Harvey sat up straight before showing discontent.“You’re my brother, my dear friend.“If people go against you, they go against me.“If they don’t respect you, then they don’t respect me either!“I’m just giving you your p
